Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012151631A1] A deployment apparatus is described. The deployment apparatus is for deploying an underwater power generator having a power generating main body from a deployment vessel disposed on the surface of a body of water onto a pylon disposed on the bed of the body of water and the deployment apparatus includes: a frame including one or more connectors disposed on a base region of the frame, the connectors for releasable connection to catches disposed on an upper region of the power generating main body, the connectors being remotely operable between a connected position in which the connectors are engaged with the catches and a disconnected position in which the connectors are disengaged from the catches; and one or more cameras disposed on the frame for providing visual guidance to the vessel of the position of the underwater power generator relative to the pylon. A method for deployment of the underwater power generator is also described.
